Thread: Greaves "Locking" Razor

Awesome! Do you think someone modded this at sometime? I've never seen one like it.

Unusual and quite interesting.

Neat! Looks like the work of a clock maker. Surely looks as old as the razor. Collars and all.

I would frame that thing and try to research it. Times like this I sure miss Neil Miller..

Mark, It looks to me to have been made, as it is, originally by Greaves. Doesn't appear to have ever been disassembled or modified.

Tom, good idea, and, as usual, I think you might be right.
This one is probably worthy of being framed.

Not to mention it looks like it would be uncomfortable to use. At least on one's self.
May be part of a surgical kit? Someone summon Zak and scienceguy.....

Very different.

Yeah, I figured that one was a garage mod when I saw it. Seeing it with the locking mechanism, it makes sense now.

There was one kicking around fleabay for a while like that, but lacking scales IIRC. I thought someone cut into the spine to make it look cool or different, I thought it was dumb. Pretty cool to see it was actually something factory that I had just never seen, and I am dumb. Thanks for sharing.

I can't currently find the high resolution scans from my original copy, but this one appears in Lummus' article:

I wonder what the use was? Someone who has issues with their hands, like MS, war injury, or the like?

I agree. This razor was specially made for a reason
